Has any1 ever asked this? Well I am, lol...

I have a question for y'all, as Idk of anyone ever asking this, lol, but here it is: does a mod count, if it's been done on a non-functional device (such as, say, an optical mouse that no longer talks to the computer, even if the led in it still lights up)? Maybe even if just a practice mod, it still counts, doesn't it? Like for showcasing or something?

Kind of a silly question, I guess, but I've never really thought of it.

The reason I ask, is that I have plenty of things like that (older AT and ATX PSU's that still work, older mice, including my old Logitech that lights up but won't register info to/from a pc, PS/2 keyboards, etc), and I need to practice, and was thinking that there's really no reason they shouldn't count as mods if I do complete them, right?

Yeah, my very 1st PC mod is so bad that I'm too embarrassed to even show pix of it anywhere, lol. I'm in the long-term process of gaining back my self-respect in that field by re-modding the whole thing, lol. Yeah, it's THAT bad. It was back in 2001 though, so I was young, inexperienced, and just wanted a bold, ugly statement to be made out of the even uglier used case I had, lol. It was also my first ever PC build, and I'm still proud of it, refuse to let it go. The mobo n CPU will end up in a display box at some point, lol.
